Well the taillights (from what can be seen) look a lot like the Murano's and the rest of it seems pretty similar to the new Mitsu Outlander, especially the C-pillar angle. But I think it looks nice and definitely an improvement.

WTF was that weirdass super-long RAV4 we saw photos of then?
I dig this, though, but I dislike the xA-like notch-butt.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one who saw and xA rear on this thing. Front looks okay, but overall, not especially attractive.

I believe that was a Highlander body shell on this vehicle's platform with current RAV4 front and rear ends attatched.

Yes, manufacturers do that sometimes as the ultimate disguise.  Land Rover tested the LR3 in Arizona covered in an Explorer body shell, but with the LR3's mechanicals.

I was thinking along the lines of Mazda 3 hatch, but that's good too.

From the b-pillar back this thing looks way too much like the Murano imho.

I see some Mazda3 in the front.

I guess I see a bit of that too, but the Scion TC was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the front.

The only problem I really see is the toy-ish steering wheel...otherwise it isn't bad, IMO.

It looks more like a wagon.  That's a good thing.

Interior seems ok, nothing outstanding...I prefer the current design.

The top part of the center stack looks A LOT like an Accord. Some of the plastic is a bit too shiny for my taste.

I actually really like the steering wheel but the rest of the dash is way too busy imho (the current Rav4 has the same problem).

I don't care for either the dash or the steering wheel. :D
